Disabled train disrupts Blue Line service

September 25, 2008

A disabled CTA train temporarily halted service on part of the Blue Line on the Northwest Side this morning, transit officials said.

Trains were not running between the Jefferson Park and Logan Square stations for about an hour this morning, but power was restored to the line around 9 a.m. A bus shuttle was in service between those stations.

The southbound train experienced mechanical problems and passengers had to disembark at the Belmont station a little before 8 a.m., CTA spokeswoman Wanda Taylor said.

Taylor had no further details about the nature of the mechanical failure.
